A Great Practical Guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: Foundations in Singing: A Basic Textbook in Vocal Technique and Song Interpretation (Spiral-bound)
My voice teacher recommended Christy's "Expressive Singing" when I was studying opera. I found it helpful, although the photos were already dated. Recently I discovered "Foundations in Singing" in my public library. Impressed with its concepts, exercises, & approach, I puschased my own copy and use "Foundations" when I teach others. The cassette tape completes the set. My only reservation is the cost - ouch! Grudgingly, I must admit it was worth it to "bite the bullet" and buy the set. Hope this is helpful.

Excellent instruction and songs for beginning vocal student,
By Sylvia Stengle (Bethlehem, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Foundations in Singing: A Basic Textbook in Vocal Technique and Song Interpretation (Spiral-bound)
This is a clear, concise no-nonsense introduction for vocal students with a list of additional resources at the end of each of 12 chapters. It is supplemented by nearly 200 pages of wonderful, varied songs, many arranged for both high and low voice, with piano accompaniment. The music ranges from simple folk tunes through Broadway hits to art songs and arias in foreign languages. Appendixes provide guides to musical terms, the international phonetic alphabet, and tips on singing in selected foreign languages. Helpful for anyone embarking on improving vocal technique.

The "Foundations in Singing" Tape is a great addition!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Foundations in Singing (Audio Cassette)
"My own voice teacher recommended Van Christy's "Expressive Singing" to me years ago when I was an opera student. It was most helpful. I must admit, however, "Foundations in Singing" is great for beginning students. I have elected to use it with my voice students. The cassette tape adds an additional dimension to the text: The demonstration of exercises is quite helpful. The song collection covers a wide range of styles and languages, while reinforcing the concepts in the text.
